On conrad. I use to subscribe to the canadian edge letter. I purchased his recommendations all at prices he recommended. Then waited for the sell signals (figuring the purpose of the letter is not only to get the buy signals but because he is suppose to be the expert on canadian trusts). All 10 positions dropped for a major loss. In the meantime I was reading other comments about getting out of trusts. When I wrote canadian edge we got the typical circle jerk answers. Not only did I cancel but other people I know did the same. you can do just as well on your own and it won’t cost you anything. Plus because you picked the position you will have a better feel on when to get out.

thanks on both comments. i am long AGNC but since they have broken out well above their normal 2-3 year highs i am cautious on buying more. on the canadians, could i trouble you for the names/symbols of some others like alantic. or give me a link to start on the net. I like them for two reasons: 1. no big unknown as to what is going to happen come jan 2011. 2. since the payment is part interest it is not subject to the 15% getting it across the border tax like a normal canadian stock/trust div. (as an aside i think that the tax rebate we get on the 15% could go away with a stroke of the congressional pen in this Robin Hood govt we have now.)

Re: Utility Forecaster
I’m a 10 year subscriber, and I like those reco’s most of the time. I’ve made $ on even Enron, but only by using my intuition, i.e., when to bail out (90% profit). Overall, a good risk adjusted letter, worth the $. There is a lot of information there, but I worry that he is getting spread too thin with his other endeavors.
